Hi, I am Andrew Lamb and I am innovating the disaster relief supply chain

I work with Field Ready, a humanitarian organisation that has pioneered the application of making in disaster response. I am also a Shuttleworth Fellow focusing on open approaches to Massive Small Manufacturing – the concept of complementing innovative local manufacturing with traditional global manufacturing. I live in London and love Lego.

You can contact me by e-mail at andrew.lamb@fieldready.org or find me at:
